Forum :: Lounge :: INI Syntax

I decided to try and make my own emulator. I will go through with this progress if i can get help on this project from you guys! I need ideas,suggestions, etc, because this will be closed source for awhile and will include some stuff you want. 

Things i refuse to add:

• Fishing
• Cooking
• Harvesting
• Pets
• And other hacky features

Im confused as to what you are asking for here exactly... suggested features for your emulator?

as an operator though, I would like to see as much configurable from ini files as possible

Yes, but focusing around the INI file syntax :P feel free to give off topic suggestions tho.

If you change the syntax it won't be INI syntax anymore. The INI syntax looks like this

;Some random comment

[MySection]

value1 = "ffff"

value2 = 1234124

[AnotherSection]

something = 0

thats what I was thinking, as that the format I've seen used the most. though to be honest most of my exposure to it is through mIRC scripts and I wasn't sure if that was applicable as the eoserv inis use a different format, more like strings stored in a plain text file.

Yes. Eoserv has some different ini syntax than the normal inis.

Are you making the accounts/characters file based like Seose? You also mentioned the pubs would be ini based, I think Kalandra had something like that but I only looked at it once. I think if you did stuff like that, made the project open sourced (when its ready of course), and gave it the same amount of features as eoserv has, it would be really nice for newer people since they wouldn't have to go to the trouble of setting up mysql or sqlite.

class EOSERV {

};

I would have each type of thing have its own ini

example

npc.ini

[1]

1 = crow

2 = hpvalue

3 = etc

[2]

1 = rat

Yes, thats also why. All pub files and character/account files will be ini based. The thing ill have to figure out is turning the pub ini files into actual pub files for the client which shouldnt be too hard.

Using SomethingAmount = x 1.Value = blah etc. is lame. You can foreach through the unordered_map (take a look at the way eoserv loads homes).
